In this paper a novel non-iterative approach is proposed to address the problem of deriving
non-stationary stochastic processes which are compatible in the mean sense with a given (target) response
(uniform hazard) spectrum ...

In this methods paper, we report on the design of a clinical study testing the efficacy of a newly developed control scheme for robot-aided rehabilitation. To measure the value added by a new control scheme, we pursued a ...

Biological tissues have the remarkable ability to remodel and repair in response to disease, injury and mechanical stresses. Synthetic materials lack the complexity of biological tissues, and man-made materials that respond ...

The morphology of graphene is crucial for its applications, yet an
adequate theory of its growth is lacking: It is either simplified to a
phenomenological-continuum level or is overly detailed in atomistic
simulations, ...

While the literature for the doping of silicon quantum dots (QDs) and nanocrystals (NCs) is extensive, reports of doping their germanium analogs are sparse. We report a range of attempts to dope Ge QDs both during and ...

Fluorinated graphene oxide (FGO) is reported for the first time as a magnetically responsive drug carrier that can serve as a MRI and photoacoustic contrast agent, under pre-clinical settings, as well as a photothermal ...

High energy and high power electrochemical energy storage devices rely on different fundamental working principles - bulk vs. surface ion diffusion and electron conduction. Meeting both characteristics within a single or ...

We report measurements of the diffusion of atomic hydrogen in single crystalline VO2 micro/nanobeams by direct exposure to atomic hydrogen, without catalyst. The atomic hydrogen is generated by a hot filament, and the ...

Background:
A label-free immunosensor from as-grown double wall carbon nanotubes (DW) bundles was
developed for detecting Salmonella typhimurium. The immunosensor was fabricated by using
the as-grown DW bundles as an ...

Commercial samples of Magnetite with size ranging from 25-30nm were coated with polyaniline by using radio frequency plasma polymerization to achieve a core shell structure of magnetic nanoparticle (core)-Polyaniline ...

Current lithium batteries operate on inorganic insertion compounds to power a diverse range of
applications, but recently there is a surging demand to develop environmentally friendly green electrode
materials. To develop ...

Flow problems with moving boundaries and interfaces include fluid--structure interaction (FSI) and a number of other classes of problems, have an important place in engineering analysis and design, and offer some formidable ...

Two dimensional transitionmetal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs) offer promise as optoelectronic materials due to their direct band gap and reasonably good mobility values. However, most metals form high resistance contacts on ...

Herein, we present a novel imaging platform to study the biological effects of non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) electric field cancer hyperthermia. This system allows for real-time in vivointravital microscopy (IVM) imaging ...

Atomic carbon chains have raised interest for their possible applications as graphene interconnectors as the thinnest nanowires; however, they are hard to synthesize and subsequently to study. We present here a reproducible ...
